I have my 2005 TL for 1 year and 7 months and it's almost 30,000 miles (27,500 miles to be exact). So far I haven't seen any MID display codes for me to do any services. I only seen it once when it was 6000 miles. The MID display code was A1. I did the oil change and tire rotation. I usually did oil change and tire rotation before the MID comes up (usually around 30% of oil life left) after that 6000 mile.

I couldn't find anything that says 15K or 30K maintenance service on the User's Manual at all. I remember I had to do 15K, 30K, 45K, etc.. service for my old Honda Accord (according to the user manual).

I am afraid if I don't do the maintence service, my TL will be have problems in the long run. Should I wait for the MID display code to come up or just take it to the dealer and have it service when it's 30K miles?

If you have any good suggestions, please advice. Thank you for reading.

 

You're fine with the MID. The codes A, B and 1-5 pretty much account for all of the fluid changes and maintenance items that were under the old 15K/30K/45K/60K service schedules replaced by the Maintenance Minder/MID system.
You can do more frequent oil and fluid changes if you want, of course.

 

Thanks Will.
